It is great to see the Canteen Crew is alive and well! It has been ages but just wanted to drop by and say hello after all these years and sending everyone my best regards! Miss you all. Sorry cannot stay but I wish you all the best and will be lurking whenever I get a chance. HUGS Freepers!

[radu]

Well darn. You mentioned having something for your eyes last night but didn’t know how often you had to use it or how much it affected your vision. You said it was a little blurry last night.

MoJo made some cool dollz. There are a few in my “closet” too. :-)

[radu]

Maybe one will boil up before the night’s over to give y’all some rain.

There were a few pop-up showers around TN today but nothing here. Just hot and very muggy. Ugh!

[radu]

LOL! Got to be a lazy butt another day, huh? Must be nice.

Today was visit Aunt Clara and do the grocery shopping day. So much fun. BUT, I had a heck of a surprise at the grocery store. I’d gotten a coupon last week for $5 off the next purchase if it was over $100. When the cashier scanned it today, he yelped, “Oh, (my name)! You just won a $100 food give-away!” I said, “You’re kidding, right?” and he wasn’t! I never have that kind of luck. First time for everything, I guess. LOL! Sure made my day!

Tomorrow is work the election HQ during the afternoon and that’s not bad. Just sit around waiting for people to come in looking for yard signs for their preferred candidates.

[radu]

The tech is in NC?????? They couldn’t find someone a bit closer? LOL

I hope you’re able to get the hangups ironed out. Gotta be frustrating.

Not going to bed any time too soon. Just left for a bit to grab a shower and am all freshly clean. Bed time’s still a little ways off. :-)

[PROCON]

Woo-Hoo, you won the grocery store lottery for the day, and, Yes, it does help.

Well, you better hit the sack and no excuses, young lady! :-)

See ya tomorrow!

[PROCON]

Shameless stab at a 50!

Days off are always nicer than work days.

I’m burned out. This election has dragged on forever and two nights of the convention was plenty. Listening to Pence now since I left the TV on CBS when I went to the shower and he was speaking when I came out. Just waiting for the 10:00 Nashville news now. :-).

[radu]

So what makes tonight any different? LOL!!

WOOHOO! Ya got that 50!

[luvie]

Lookit you sneaking one in!! LOL!

Woohoo!!

[radu]

He’s good at it!

[PROCON]

Well, I was trying to be shameless, guess it didn’t work, LOL!

[luvie]

LOL! You’re just faster than we are.

We’d have jumped if we’d been paying attention! :)

[luvie]

He is one of those politicians that drone on and on and ON! LOL!

[radu]

Durn tootin’ we would have! LOL!

[radu]

Well, I didn’t pay much attention any way so it didn’t matter. LOL! It was just on and I caught just the last couple of minutes.

[Kathy in Alaska]
